Children inherit parent's properties when parent has boxShadow + scale + overflow:hidden #54556

Description

When a parent View has all three of these properties:

  • boxShadow
  • transform: [{ scale }] ← Required to trigger the bug
  • overflow: 'hidden'

Children incorrectly inherit the parent's borderRadius and scale transform(and others properties if set), even though these properties should not be inherited.

Additional Context

Removing any one of these properties makes the bug disappear

  • Removing overflow: 'hidden' makes the bug disappear
  • Removing boxShadow makes the bug disappear
  • Removing transform: scale makes the bug disappear

Everything works great on Android

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a parent View with these exact properties:
    overflow: 'hidden'
    boxShadow: ...
    transform: [{ scale: ... }]
  2. Create a child View inside the parent with:
    borderRadius: 0 (should be square)
  3. Run the app on iOS/tvOS
